Hi guys, does anyone have ever tried to update XCP 1.5 to 1.6 which claims to be working now (critical pub fixed) ? The interesting part for me right now is, how I can do it. Because I can''t find any reliable information how to do it and what to use. Usually on "Citrix" XEN you apply a xsupdate package to the hyper visor which goes into maintenance mode during update. But neither I find a update package nor any kind of information. So is there really only the offline way, upgrade through the ISO installer ? Thanks, Bjoern
Hi, To upgrade your pool without the online way: 1. Live migrate the VM from the master host of the pool to the other hosts you have in your pool. 2. Reboot the master host and boot on the xcp 1.6 iso 3. Proceed with the upgrade of the master 4. When the master is back online, evacuate the VM from a slave host of your choice 5. Reboot the slave and boot on the xcp 1.6 iso 6. Proceed with the upgrade of the slave 7. When the slave is back online, repeat steps 4 to 7 with the remaining slaves. Note that the pool stay in a "upgrade in progress" state until you''ve upgraded all the hosts. This mean there are some actions you can''t do on the pool while it''s being upgraded, like adding new SR to the pool, etc. But it''s not really a problem.

Thanks Sebastien, that''s exactly what I did. But I was hoping there was a online way using an update package or something. (Like Citrix) Thanks, Bjoern ________________________________________ From: Sébastien RICCIO [sr@swisscenter.com] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2012 5:37 PM To: Teipel, Bjoern Cc: xen-users@lists.xen.org Subject: Re: [Xen-users] XCP 1.5 beta to 1.6 rolling update Hi, To upgrade your pool without the online way: 1.
